L'oreal Smooth Intense 1 Minute Caring Mask

It's been a while since I made a review for my hair! The heat is really unbeatable and I tend to sweat a lot! Argh!!! So I finally decided to use my L'oreal Paris Smooth Intense 1 Minute Caring Mask to give my hair extra care (I have this product for several months already)! During summer season, we tend to focus on the cool summer outfitey and sunblocks that we forget to take care of our hair! With the burning heat!!!! We must not forget to give our hair extra nourish this summer season to prevent it from drying and breaking.

And yes, it's the perfect timing to use this product L'oreal Smooth Intense 1 Minute Caring Mask.

Base on the packaging, it says that this product will nourish and smoothens hair. Specially for hair type that are frizzy and rebellious.

I like the look of the packaging as it's chic and looks like a serious product to nourish the hair! It's so salon like product but can be used at home.

Let's open and look at the product. Since the weather is oh soooo hot, it melted and became liquid already (previously it was creamy). It has a light sweet smell which I think is great with the hair.

My Verdict:

What I like about the product:

The smell is very light but has a long staying power with the hair. I am a fan of light smelled hair care. Two thumbs up!
Though it's liquid already it gave moisture and nourished my hair! It made my hair soft in an instant!
And yes, it made my hair smooth. I felt my hair so smooth and even after 8 hour my hair was still so smooth.
I observed that my hair was less or not frizzy at all! Yippeee..
I have permed hair and I obseverd that it helped enhance my locks.
I feel I have fresh hair!

What I don't like about the product:

None ( I just don't the price since I got it from my momma).

Can you notice my hair looks soft and light weight?? It's not frizzy too!

Took another picture to have a better lighting. Can you see that my hair is bagsak in this picture?? I don't have freezy hair and it's shiny too. I just have little hair floating as I really don't comb my hair. It's really wash hand wear given that it's permed.

I am satisfied with L'oreal Smooth Intense 1 Minute Caring Mask! This is a great product when you are too busy and don't have time to go to salon. I think this is a great alternative for hot oil treatment! This can be comparable to Lory's too! Love love love!

Terranova Tights

Hi gals and gays! Here's a quick post for today. I am not feeling so well (I think I used up my energy too much!) and I will have to get more rest than the usual. When I feel better already, I will post more of my back log entries that I have been road testing.

During my last trip to K-Land, I was expecting to see a lot of Korean tights but surprisingly I didn't saw any! We have lots of Korean tights available here in the Philippines that are sold in tiange and bazaars so I expected to get some at K-Land with better quality. But then again, I wasn't able to get one.

There are a lot of tights available in the market but I really don't want to buy tights that are way too expensive. And on the hunt of a good tights at an affordable price I saw Terranova tights.

Terranova tights are available in so many colors! Both bright and neutral ones. You can choose from super girly pink, or safe colors like navy blue, black, grey, etc. And if you're more adventurous, they also have it in red, orange, etc. They also have it in printed flowers too. I wish I should have taken photos of all their tights collection to be able to share with you (I wasn't sure if I could take pictures inside the store).

I was having a hard time choosing what color to get! I don't know if I want to get a colorful one or more on neutral again. But then I remembered myself that I need to get more neutral clothes already so I finally looked at the safe colors. I was thinking if what color should I get, and since I have black already I got a navy or dark blue color! But then again, I can't help to get one with colors! So I think the safest would be blue.

The best part of this purchase is that it only cost P65 per piece! It's so affordable than what I expected! It's available in different sizes too. This is really a great deal! I got this several months back and since it's going to be summer season soon. I decided to get two only. It's mostly made with Nylon and Elastane so it's comfortable! And yes, it's really comfortable. I am sorry for not having to post a picture wearing this. I will have to post a look for this but I would have to save this for the cold season.

I just visited Terranova again today and I noticed that they don't have it that much already! I think it will almost be sold out. So what are you waiting for?? Grab one now before you ran out of it!

Fine Living Essentials

Last May 4, 2013 I attended an event from Fine Living Essentials and learned a lot about Collagen. But wait wait, when I first read the invite I was actually confused about what product will Fine Living introduce to us. My idea about Collagen is that it's for beauty! So keep on reading and learn more about Collagen too!

The event was held at Bread and Bean Cafe. Upon entering the event venue, we were welcomed warmly by the person behind Fine Living Essentials - Ms. Bhelle! And then at last, I saw their products. I checked them out first even before reading the information from the displayed tarpaulins. They have several products and I was excited to know all of their products.

So to understand more what are the products, I read the tarpaulins and the hand outs given to us.

The wait is over! Ms. Bhelle now started the event by giving a little back ground and I found out that she has several business too (like the very well known Made for Movement). She introduced as about Fine Japan, and it's actually a Japanese company that specialize in health and beauty supplements. They have their research team to create specific supplements in accordance to the needs of their consumers. As their Company Philosophy goals = Fine's products are here to help. We all know that Japanese are very much particular with Fashion and Beauty, I think they are very vain so I think that this Japanese product will surely be a hit here in the Philippines too. Filipino market is vain too but not yet as vain as the Japanese.

Though Fine has a lot of products, they would like to focus more on Hyaluron & Collagen Plus. And I appreciate it that Ms. Bhelle actually used the product for several years already and I can actually see the result with in her while she is talking about the product.

She also introduced Ms. Imelda from Fine too to talk about the product even more.

Ms. Imelda told us about their different products but focused more on Hyaluron and Collagen Plus. What is this product?? It's actually a beauty supplement to regain youthfulness! It a supplement to help us become more beautiful and healthier. And it's consumer friendly too as it is easy to drink with a fruity taste since it's placed in a small bottle with easy twist cap. You just need to drink one bottle a day.

Yes I can imagine what your thinking, what's in a Collagen?? I learned from Fine that Collagen is a protein component from our body. We have one quarter of Collagen in our body's protein and 70% of our skin is composed of Collagen.

Collagen helps our body to maintain strength and flexibility of skin, hair, nails joints, eyes, tendons, gums, muscles, teeth, bones, etc.

But as we age our body reduce the production of Collagen the reason we age quickly. We also see the appearance of wrinkles, felt drying of skin, visible pores, etc. So with this, we need to have more Collagen in the body to retain our younger looking skin!

When we age, we also notice that our skin tends to sag too. It's because our Elastin dries up and shrinks faster than when were younger. Elastin is also a protein in our body that allows skin to sprink back to place when stretched. It makes the skin resilient and firm.

So what's great about Fine Hyaluron Collagen Plus is that it's not only a Collagen! According to Fine, a Collagen will work effectively when combined with Elastin plus HA (Hyaluronic Acid). I learned that HA is present in our body's tissues. When we loose HA as we age, it reduce the moisture and makes our skin dry and our joints weak.

This is what makes Fine Collagen different from the other Collagen brands. Collagen with Elastin with HA! It will not only strengthen our skin but also make it firmer and healthier.

Lastly, Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus has Vitamin C too. Talk about what this product can do to your health!

Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus is a little expensive at P3,450 for a one month use. So it's also available in powdered form, in sachet and refill packs. It's recommended to take the liquid form as it is more concentrated. Then after you achieve the desired result, you can convert to the powdered form as maintenance.

After learning the wonders of Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus from Ms. Imelda, Ms. Bhelle then talked about her personal experience with the product. It's her testimony before she distributed the product.

Look at how radiant, flawless and beautiful ms. Bhelle is

Ms. Bhelle told us her story how she encountered stress and whirl wind life and sad enought it showed from her skin. She suddenly saw appearance of acne though she's not in her teen years anymore. But after drinking Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus she noticed that little by little her acne disappears, her skin whitens thus acne blemishes starts to disappear. For her, she felt the effect after 5 days of drinking the product. But what amazed Ms. Bhelle more is that the good effect didn't just show on her face, it also showed from her whole body. She also noticed her skin glowing and firmer than ever. She noticed her skin become more youthful too! She didn't felt any side effects!

Drinking Collagen reach down the deep layers of skin which can't be done when we apply Collagen lotions. Collagen can be taken as early as in our 20's. It's also best to take Fine Hyaluron Collagen Plus at night when you are about to sleep as it is the time our body regenerates.

After Ms. Bhelle, Ms. Maru (Maketing and PR of Fine) also shared her testimonial with the product. She just started using the product over one year and then she also saw the result! She said that she noticed her body to become firmer and more radiant. She also shared that after several days of drinking the product she thought that she's getting fat but in reality her skin is getting firmer! She shared a lot of good effects that the product have done to her.

After listening to the three ladies from Fine, I think that this product is best for the mature ones both men and women. Yes! This is not just for women only, this is a great product for men who have weak joints already! But of course, it's good to take this early on when we already see fine lines and difference from our skin.

Before the event ended, Fine made us taste the product! They prepared a juice and poured in a bottle of Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus.

Look! The Juice is changing color upon pouring of Fine Hyaluron and Collagen

I find the taste of drink is still the juice. Didn't taste the Collagen which is great! It doesn't create a different taste. As what Ms. Bhelle was saying, you may opt to combine it in your favorite drink so you don't have to worry about having another liquid to intake or a problem with the taste. Ms. Bhelle also shared to us that they actually collaborated with Flavors Magazine where they included Fine Hyaluron and Collagen Plus in some recipes. It's great right!
